      Hi all

      I've received two different IP subnets from my provider with one gatway per subnet. These two nets are on the same fibre and so on the same pfSense-Interface.
      How can I manage to use both nets with both gateways?

      Thanks in advance

        Ideally have them change the second to a routed subnet, no need to waste IPs like that. Otherwise just ignore the second gateway and add virtual IPs.

          but i use the two subnets for outgoing traffic with the outbound nat rules. So I think that i have to use the right gateway for that?

            no. it's the same router. which is why it's dumb to put on a second gateway IP, route the subnet to your existing IP space.
